JAKARTA - The government has started to encourage fuel oil savings amid a warming global situation. Secretary of State Prasetyo Hadi said that national fuel stocks were safe, but the current conditions must be read as a warning for the government and the community to start being more frugal.
After a coordination meeting on the presidential priority program at the Ministry of Defense, Jakarta, Tuesday, March 17, Prasetyo emphasized that the supply of fuel was not a cause for concern. He referred to the explanation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources and the President Director of Pertamina that the national reserves remained safe.
According to Prasetyo, the daily reserve figure that has been mentioned so far does not mean that the oil is gone. It only describes the storage mechanism. When stocks are reduced, the supply is replenished.
However, Prasetyo emphasized that this sense of security should not make the government complacent. President Prabowo, said the Minister of Law and Human Rights, has reminded that the current situation should be used as a lesson to become more efficient.
"Later it will start from the head of government, ministries, and institutions. There is a lot that can be done to reduce fuel consumption," said Prasetyo.
He then mentioned several steps that had begun to be encouraged, including migration to public transportation and reduction or restriction of the use of official vehicles.
At the same time, the government also continues to comb other budgets that are considered less productive. Spending that can be postponed will be postponed, while priority programs that are considered to have an immediate impact on the community will be maintained. So, the government is starting to calculate spending more strictly.
